Disclaimer: I dont own FairyTail
Chapter 2
"Are you sure this plant even exists you guys. It sounds to good to be true", said Happy.
"Dont worry will find it just you wait", Erza spoke confidentially.
"It's gotta be here, Why would someone just post it on the request board if it didnt exist",said natsu with his arms behind his head.
"Indeed the guy that requested this rare herb wouldn't have lied, considering the amount of jewl he's willing to pay us," said Erza.
"Plus if we can find an access of them we can take some back to the guild and using them as bingo prices, for Fiore's annual cherry blossom party."
Natsu upon hearing that couldn't help but agree more. Unable to hold in his excitement, he spoke up in his energetic loud voice.
"Ohh Man I'm all fired up now! Hey herbs where are you ? Come on out and fight me"
"Hey Natsu shut up," retorted Gray at Natsu's outburst.
"What'd you say frosty?"
Natsu now in Gray's face ready to throw the first punch.
"You herd me pyro," Gray smiling cocky. Which was pissing off Natsu.
"Lets go then snowflake"
Natsu readying in his fighting stance, both hands in gulfed in flames.
"I'll take you on right now flame brain" Gray following suit, as he was ready to unleash an Ice attack.
But sadly forgot who was with them on the mission. For a split second it cost them.
Erza was there watching and soon made the move. She quickly put a stop to it. Before the brawl even started, she pulled on both their ears hard and tight.
"Come on boys we have a mission to complete," dragging both wizards along with her.
"Aye Sir" both Natsu and Gray saying it simultaneously in a frighten tone. They both quickly settled down afraid of suffering any more injuries from the firery red head.
"Ehh.. I really hope we find this plant soon before we all end up freezing completely, I can't even feel my legs anymore," said Wendy in a worrying freezing voice.
she had been wearing a short orange dress that went above her knees.
"Oh come now child it isn't that bad. How are you suppose to deal with future jobs like this one, if you can't even handle a little snow," said the little exceed that goes by the name of Carla.
"Sheesh isn't that a bit harsh much", Lucy thought to herself. Feeling sorry for her teammate. She was trying to think of an idea that would keep her teamate warm.
"Hmm I've got it snapping her fingers... Open Gate of the Clock Constellation Horologium.
Here Wendy come inside with me and lets stay warm together," smiling at her. As Wendy followed her into the Grandfather clock spirit.
"Thank you Lucy I owe you one."she said, instintly feeling the warmth in her freezing legs.
A few mintutes had gone by and Wendy was beginning to notice a very familiar scent coming from inside the clock spirit. she knew she'd smelled it before, but just couldnt quite put her finger on it. Though her sharp nose senses and amazing intelligence figured out the scent.
"Natsu",she thought and looked at Lucy who had been wearing his scarf.
"He probably lended it to her to keep her warm." she thought, smiling at the kindness he always showed. Something that she always admired from him.
"I see big brother Natsu lended you his scarf" Wendy breaking the silence between them.
"oh uhh ahehe yeah he did, she responded shyly. I was freezing and so he offered it to me", Looking down at her feet avoiding eye contact to hide the small blush.
"Thats Natsu for yah. Always looking out after his friends to make sure there safe and happy, Wendy responded."
Both sharing a small laugh. As they changed the topic to discuss what they would be wearing for the Cherry Blossom Festival. It would be there first time attending as fairy tail wizards after all. The excitement on there faces only grew as they imagined all there friends having a good time laughing, drinking. and pigging out on food all day.
Lucy had also imagined about seeing the blossom petals being released into the blissful night sky with a pink haired wizard. A blush that would have been seen easily if not for her burying her face in Natsu's scarf.
"what's with these images all of a sudden". Lucy trying to shake off what could be just a daydreaming thought.
Calming herself down a bit. She felt safe to looked up again and noticed Natsu from inside Horologium, looking up into the sky.
"Wonder what he's doing looking up" she thought.
Natsu who had been sniffing the air to pick up the scent of the herb plant was having trouble finding it even with his razor sharp nose senses.
"Pick up anthing yet Natsu," Erza hoping to finally get some good news as even she began to feel the brutal freezing weather.
"Not yet Erz, I dont smell any... Wait I got something, follow me. Happy lets go little buddy."
"Aye sir" Happy responded.
As both took of full throttle running and Happy flying up the peak of the mountain not wasting anytime.
"Geez Man wait for the rest of us" Gray now following pursuit trying to keep up with the running pyro.
"Ughh here we go again, running off like an idiot. When will he learn its not the way to do things." Erza rubbing her tempo as if getting a headache.
Looking back to her other teamates she started calling out to them.
"Hurry up you three, time to pick up the pase." She said, quickly requipping into her lighting empress armor to follow Natsu and Gray.
Bad timing had occurred for Wendy and Lucy as Horologium time had expired. Giving them a fellow goodbye before returning back to the Celestial World. Instantly they could feel the temperature drastically change. Even for Lucy who wondered if the Troia spell was weakening.
"whaa !! wh..wh..why is it getting cold again, I thought Natsu said the spell would last till we got back home. He's so getting a serious butt kicking when we get back."
As another gust of wind hit causing both wizards to hug each other in an attempt to keep warm. Following suit of the others still embraced in a hug they reached the top seeing the battle that already begun.
"It seems will be getting a nice juicy bonus I herd white Wyvern scales go for alot of jewl."
Gray now launching snow cannon balls from his ice bazooka maker magic.
"Alright lets get this party started then shall we. Fire Dragon: Brillent flaamme!!"
Natsu launching a huge fireball at the Blizzard Vern.
He quickly deflected both attacks which were now heading towards Wendy, Carla, Happy and Lucy. They managed to dodge them last minute. As they breathed a sign of relief.
"Try deflecting this... lighting stream havoc" Erza now trying her luck in hitting it but quickly dodged the attack, now heading towards Natsu and Gray.
"Ohh Ohh" said Gray as it came it's way bracing for the pain.
"what in the heck" was all Natsu could say before the explosion hit both of them.
"Eeeeyakk Eeeyakk !!" Both said after being hit by the attack.
"Idiots dont you now how to dodge" Erza said in an irradiated voice.
"Ehh Yeahh... of course" Gray responed dumbly in a shocked toast state.
"But it came at us so fast," said Natsu in a raspy voice who he to was in the same state as Gray.
Just then the Wyvern had switched targets and was now heading towards Lucy and Wendy in an enraged state.
"Hey where yah going", yelled Natsu.
grrr nooo!! "Gray give me a boost" Natsu reading himself, heading towards them.
"You got it ice make Geyser," Gray launching an enormous stream of ice towards Natsu giving him the extra boost needed to make it in time.
"Get down!!" Natsu pushing both wizards out of the way protecting them both. The Wyvern's sharp claw dugged into his back and left arm tearing skin. Still holding onto Natsu the wyvern finally swung him into a large boulder causing it to finally let go.
"Natsu!!" Both Wendy and Lucy cried out as they saw him be battered around unmercifully.
Running towards their teamates aid The two young wizards could feel there blood turn could with each step they took.
Finally reaching him, what they saw left them turning there heads for a second. Natsu had been trapped inside a crater of the boulder. With quick thinking Lucy summond virgo to assist her in freeing Natsu. As he carfully landed in her arms.
Wendy had already started healing him, with tears in her eyes, she stayed focused.
"I'm not letting you go so soon big brother Natsu, you mean so much to all of us. If it wasn't for you and Erza, I wouldn't. have met everyone in Fairy Tail. Not to mention you saved my guilt from nirvana, and so I wont give up on you." Wendy more determined enhanced your healing even more as the wounds began closing rapidly.
"Sky Magic sure is amazing isn't princess, said virgo as she turned to face Lucy who was in tears.
"Time and time again Natsu, you throw yourself at your enemy inorder to protect us. Without worrying about your own heal When does it stop?." as sbe cried uncontrollably.
Just then a Voice had respond as if on time to answer her.
"It won't ever stop, I will always protect my family." as she looked down. A smile was placed on her face looking at the young pink haired wizard who also had a smile on his face, eyes still closed.
Lucy had asked Virgo for some bandages and a new shirt for him. Quickly wrapping his arm as Wendy continued recovering him.
Virgo had teased Lucy again about loving Natsu and blushed even more then ever as she quicky turned down the comment Virgo said.
A Few moments had passed, since the incident. Erza and Gray had arrived moments later. They all have been waiting for him to wake up. As if on cue, Natsu had began opening up his eyes up. staring at everyone, he softly spoke.
"Mmmh Man feels like one of Erza's beatings unleashed on me" said Natsu.
Everyone chuckled as he sat up, looking at Lucy and Wendy.
Thanks you guys, really glad you both came along" grinning widley even though in pain.
"Ahh ehhh, thats gonna hurt for awhile, im definitely gonna feel that in the morning."
"I did all I could for now, the pain will still be there sorry about that." Wendy said.
"Dont worry you did amazing" Giving Wendy a big high five.
"Thanks again virgo" Lucy said.
"Your welcome princess, if you need anything else just call", as she headed back to the Celestial World.
"Thanks a million Lucy" he said. Being oblivious as to why her cheeks were getting pink.
Now then, Brushing of the pain he finally had enough with the beast. As it continued to glide above them.
So nice of you to wait for me,
"Let see you try repelling this, Dragon Slayer Secrets: Flame Lotus exploding flame blade!!"
A massive shockwave rattled the peak of the mountain from the attack he unleashed leaving the wyvern in a twichy state.
"Geez overkill much" Gray smirking at a well job done.
"Natsu are you...?" Erza worrying about his condition.
"ohh yeah im fine...piece of cake." grinning as if nothing happened.
"well if you say so..."
"avalanche!! " she was cut off by a screaming Lucy who was unable to escape been hit with the cascading snow coming down rapidly. Popping up her head from under the snow.
"Well that was enjoyable" she sarcastically said. As she popped out of the freezing snow.
They settled down from the unexpected avalanche and began picking out the herbs from the snow, as well as the scales of the Wyvern. Once they were done they started to head back down the mountain as the falling snow began to increase drastically.
